PREFACE BY KIYO YOSHIZAWA
The Art of Origami:
Poetry in Three Dimensions
Origami is an artistic form achieved by folding a sheet of paper according to a system of lines and surfaces. This art has aroused deep interest throughout the world for some time and is becoming ever more widespread.
This book brings together over 60 origami models that originally appeared in two books by the origami master Akira Yoshizawa—Utsukushii Origami [Beautiful Origami] and Yasashii Origami [Easy Origami]—published in Japan in 1974 and 1978.

This book presents origami conceived expressly for the enjoyment of young children as well as those with educational content, in addition to origami for adults. A variety of folding techniques are demonstrated in the easiest subjects in the second part of the book.
Animals seem to come to life, birds to sing, flowers to emit fragrance…. The master taught us the importance
